High School Notes © _Ad Optima By Irene Mulligan The Literary program of last Friday night proved to be one of the high- lights of the season. The auditorium was packed to capacity and our funds for war charities were greatly in- creased. The meeting opened by the singing of O Canada. The President's remarks were given by Marion Frank- lin. The Secretary, Bob Williams, read the minutes of the last meeting which were then adopted. The pro- gram was then turned over to Grades IX and X. The first part of the pro- gram took the form of a radio broad- cast with Robert Archer as the an- nouncer. As the program was Irish in tone the first performer, Lorraine Smith gave us an introduction to Ire- land. We were then favoured with two vocal solos, River Shannon Moon and The Rose of Trallee, by Helen Hayes. Mac Christie and Roddy Foster next appeared before the microphone and related some jokes, The next fea- ture attraction was a Comedy Quiz directed by Edna Gauld. A number dance followed by another Irish dance by Jean Cook, Teresa Leahy, Con- stance Snowdon and Beatrice Pilkey. Then two more girls made their ap- pearance to show their talent. They were Celina Hope and Merle Hunter who sang for uy I'l Take You Home Again Kathleen. Betty Real then played on the piano a medley of Irish Tunes. - Then came the second part of the Comedy Quiz. This time the fol- lowing contestants were called upon, Nelson Hudgins, Vernon Graham and Bernice Simonds. - Nelson answered his question but the-other two were forced to pay a forfeit. Bernice was given a skirt, sweater, a blond wig, a hat, a necklace and some lipstick and powder with which she was to "dress Vernon as Veronica Lake. performance was going on, the au- dience was in fits of laughter. The next performer, who hoped some Hollywood Talent Scout would spot him, was Hugh McMillan who read a humorous reading. We then had a display of club swinging by Elsie Holmes and accompanied-by Jgan Cock at the piano. Under the direction of our music teacher Mrs. Rowe the pupils of Grade IX sang several selec- tions. The first part of the program was then ended with a few more minutes of Quiz. This time the con- testants were June Cochrane, Lucille Whitter, Keith Stewart, Morley. Mitch- ell, Joe Ottenbrite, Mac Christie, Bar- bara Spencer and Lois Reader. The unfortunate from this group were June Cochrane, Lucille Whitter, Joe Ottenbrite and Lois Reader who were blindfolded and fed a picce of pie. Lois Reader proved to be a very good pie- eater. Pat and Mike also made their appearance on this quiz and as they couldn't answer the question they had would ever let them look after her children after seeing the manner. in which they applied it. Pat and Mike were Mac Christie and Roddy Foster. This brought the broadcast to an end. The feature attraction, the one-act play was then presented. This play "The Kerry Poacher" was introduced by Myrtle Duff. The curtain rose early of the Hudsons' cottage which stood at the end of a lance off the main road from Fletton to Holt. The characters as they appeared were: Ellen, Tom Hudson's wife, Doris Clark; Tom Hud- son, a gameckeeper, Grant McMillan; Fred Barley, a poacher, Bruce Hull. Ellen, in trapping-the poacher, proved to her husband that women are just as clever as men. Those not interested in dancing descended to the gymna- sium where a junior team of girls played a snappy game of basketball. An enjoyable evening was reported by all.' This week the pupils are indus- triously occupied in writing their Eas- ter examinations. For this reason school - activities will Be suspended and our School Notes will not appear in next week's issue of the Star.
